Amphion likes to do things a little differently. Our recent LIVE-SESSION | SEMINAR on NOV 11, at Red Bull Studios, Tokyo, was just one of those occasions. 30 artists, engineers, producers, and some fans, were part of this fabulous funk/soul studio-session to hear both "Magic Man" and "Two18". At Amphion, we've always believed strongly in "Hearing is Believing" to showcase our gear. And when you tap a band this good to put something together in an hour or two, we got the best of both worlds for our special seminar in the Shibuya, Tokyo in the studios of Red Bull..
The Video: Recorded (2 x Takes + Extra-overdubs) by the Philip Woo Band during the seminar. Attendees could compare the sounds of the live room vs control room, and verify just how marvellously transparent and clear Amphion monitors are. The session was tracked/mixed by Ryu Kawashima (Red Bull Studios Tokyo's chief engineer) and videoed by Nick Clegg (Sound Factory, Yokohama). The seminar-event was presented by Amphion's Founder, Anssi Hyvonen.
